Creating Opportunity Spaces for Co-Production : Professional Co-Producers in Inter-Organizational Collaborations

This chapter builds a conceptual model for how inter-organizational relationships can be built to enable the creation of learning across administrative and organizational boundaries. The conceptual model is discussed in relation to the body of knowledge concerning co-production and the new roles required of organizational members and frontline staff when services cut across these boundaries. The argument is that it is becoming increasingly important for professional co-producers and their organizations to identify, analyze, and improve the opportunity space for co-production when this opportunity space unfolds beyond one organization.© 2004-2021 by IGI Global All rights reserved.fi=vertaisarvioitu|en=peerReviewed
